An Indastry Now Occupying the Atten- tion of-the Departments, The preparation of annual reports is now the engrossing subject of attention in all the gov- ernment departments. The object of this an- nual season of literary work is to’ inform Con- gress whateach department has been doing during the year and what is hoped will be done next year if Congress will provide the needed funds, There are also various suggestions made for the purpose of enlightening the minds of the legislators and showing them how the various laws have operated and what furtner legislation is needed. Not that Congress feels under any obligation to read these reports, much less toact upon any of the sugg@stions made. In fact recommendations. are some times repeated year after year until gathering Yehemence itis supposed by constant repetition Congress at last enacts the legislation asked for. However, the cold indifferente of Congress Seems to have but little effect upon the length of the annual reports or their ‘being freighted With suggestions, Every year the officials plunge into ‘THEIR LITERARY WORK. Some with the view of establishing a reputa- tion as polished writers, others with the inten- on of bringing about reforms und changes that willgive them a name and areputationas public beneiuctorsand statesmen. The amount of infor mation of aspecial character Isapt to be supple. mented by considerable wisdom of a general kind. That in newspaper officers 1s known as “padding.” Some ume when a particularly bulky volume fs issued from the government Press @ protest is heard at the extravagance which puts the resources of the Government Printing Office at the disposal of persons who have a weakness for spolling good paper. There is a good deal sald about pruning down, &c., butitis seldom that anything isdone, When it is considered that nearly every division in every bureau of the government departments have some space allotted to them fn the anuual Teports tt can readily be understood that there is 4 great deal of printed matter turned out each year. The junk shops and the waste-paper men are benefitted, however, and a vent Is pro- vided for the utterance of thoughts which swell in the official breast. EVOLUTION OF AN ANNUAL REPOR! The evolution of an annual report of an execu- tive department Js a rather Interesting process, Nearly all the employes in one way and another lend their assistance, but when ft is issued it bears the name ot the head of the department, aud the condensed wisdom therein contained goes to the World as the resuit of the industrious research apd literury labor of one man, In the sume way the unnual reports of the Various bureaus are issued, although all these reports are really the work of a great inzny persons, It is not, however, claimed by these officials that the reports are ‘the result of their unaided etlorts, except, of course, in a gen- eral way, when they’ sign their names at the end. The facts in the reports are of course furnished by the subordinates, and the elaborate tables are their work.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR Inotice in THx StAX of October 2a commu- nication from “K” protesting against white- washing the trunks of the shade trees about the city. “K” claims that the whitewash is unsightly; so far so good, but surely the sight of the lime on the trees is far preferable to the pest of caterpillars as we have bad them,the Past summer.

The Annual Address of General Master Workman Powderly. ‘The renort of the credential committee of the Knights of Labor convention at Richmond was not presented until 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon. Then roll-call of the 800 members of the convention was proceeded with, and was not Anished until 30. The committee had reached decision on all but eight or ten names, and these were referred to the convention itself. ‘The report presented was unanimous. Protests were made on behalf of delegates excluded by the decision of the committee. Argaments were made for and against acceptance of the Feport, and if the statements ot delegates who eft the hall during the debate may be believed the feeling shown on both sides in several cases was Very strong. At length the report was ac- cepted, und it “was decided that those whose names bad been read from the roll prepared by the committee on credentials were entitied to ‘seats. When this result was reached the others were requested to leave, and quietly retired from the hall. The sessions of tue convention Will be from 9 to 12 a, m. and 2 to6 p. m. THE COLOR QUESTION.

Chairman ch said tt was not the intention to assign one to white Knights and the other to colored Knights. This order recognized no such dis- tinetions, but at tne same time the feeling here in regard to social intercourse of the races was, ‘80 well understood they anticipated no trouble ou that score, The same attitude was taken regarding the banquet, Mr. Powderly yesterday received a telegram. from Richmond, Ind., signed by James L. ‘Townsend (colored), uf Post 49, G. A. R.. thank- ing him for the stand he had taken in behalt of the colored race, Mr. Powderly’s Annual Address. General Master Workman Powderly will to- day present his annualeddress to the conv tion. It bas already been made public. The main points in it follow. In opening Mr. Powderly told the Knights that if they were guided by the experience of the past they would place the order on such a firm founda- tion that no assaults by Its enemies could in- jure it. Calling atteution to the remarkable increase in the order since the Hamilton con- ¥ention, 4,668 assemblies having been organ- ized in one year, the address says the new members so suddenly brought together could not be properly asslinilated. Thousands have been attracted toward the order through mere curiosity; others have come for purety selfish inotlves, while the great bulk of new recruits have joined for the good that they could do, Not a few joining the order for the purpose of redressing some immediate wrong, plw xt at Ouce into ill-considered strikes without learn- ing anything of the duty of the Knight to the order. Tue troubles coming trom this direction began while the la-t general assembly was in session. The car driveis of St. Louis were or- ganized under promise from the organizer that they would receive aid, uustinted, in cuse of a strike. Even before tne receipt of their euarter they were oa strike, Their proces ‘dings were characterized by such utter disregard for our Jaws and teachings that the paid aud known ents of their em pioyers,the detectives,had no didicuity in securing the passage of motions of 4 violent character. 1t is an established fact that men who were employed by detective agencies stood upon the fluor of that assembly, mude inflammatory speeches urging the men to deeds of violence, und urged that the prop- erty of the street car companies ve destroyed. It was only the good sense of the men that pre Vented such outrages trom being perpetrated, although these agents of a neluriols Spy sys tem induced some desparate men to blow up the cars upon the strects, For these outrages the order Was in no way responsible. ‘The St. Louis car troubles were but tue beginning of the tidal wave of strikes and boycotts which Sweptover the country, aud which strained the strength and resources of your geveral ofti- Gers almost beyond their powers o/ endurance, The southwest strike began when the Wme aud attention of the general vfficers were taken up with other matters of vital importance. No notice of the contemplated action was given to us, and we knew nothing whatever concerning } itor the causes leading to it until it had been In progress several days. Continuing, Mr. Powderly said: “It has been asverted that I condemned the hen while they were on strike. No such statement ever es caped my lips. The ouly statement of mine thaccould be made to appear in the light ot a condemnation was tuat contuined in my secret Circular of the 13th of Murch, weopy of which ds herewith submitted. I did not approve of u strike. I could not do so, since confidence enuugh was ‘not reposed in the general execu- tive board to give them a chance to examiue into the grievances which the members ot D. A. 101 complained of. It was only when the threat Was made Wo stop every wheel in the United States, and engage the Whole order In the difficulty, that I raised my voice in denial, Idid that in detense ot the order and the coun- try. I am quite willing to assume all the re- Sponsibilities attached to Lhe uct, and would do the same aguin under similar circumstauce: That the men of the southwest sudered wrongs is true; they were many and grievous; and itis my firm belief that the railway companies, with a full knowledge of what these grievances were, precipitated the fight themselves, at a time’wheu it would ap,eur to the world that ‘Ube strike was lor an insigimilicant cause.” THE EIGHT-HOUR MOVEMENT, Referring to the discouraging outcome of the eight-hour strike, Mr. Powderly saia; “The Federation of Trades recommended the 1st of May, but adopied or suggested no definite See by which tue short-hour system could be nuugurated. I cautioned our members against rusuing-into this movement. I had the right to do it, and um firm in the beliet that bad [ ‘not done so great loss would have been entailed upon vast numbers of our assembiies. What I suid in my secret circular of March 13 bas veen severely criticised, and I have been accused of Opposing the eight-hour movement. No suste- ment ever was further from tue truth. I op- posed the strike on Muy 1 because I Knew that neither workimen nor employers were reudy for it, because the education which must alway’ precede tntelligent action had not been given to those most iu need of it, because no definite, business-like plan tor the inauguration. of the eight-hour movement had been mapped out. A reduction of the hours of labor is a neces- sity and sooner or later must be had, but we most not forget that in muny places the ten- bour plan bus not been adopted yel. The very discussion of the sudden introduction of the eight-hour plan injured business, so much so Ubat in many places meu were reduced to haif lime or tbrown out of employment altogether, Millions of dollars’ worth of work was left un done because of the uncertainty in regard to taking contracts or in muking engagements to perform work. Never wus it more ciearly dem- onstrated that ‘an injury to one is the concern of ul’ than in the movement I am speaking of, Before the eight-hour plan is adopted the Knights of Labor and tne trades unions of America must lay aside their jealousies and dit- ferences, come logether, name a day on which ‘W put the plan into execution, adopt the plan of action, which must be gradual and such as will not {oflict injury upon either employer or workman. The pian presented by Mr. Norton, Of Cuicago, to the special session or the general assembly at Clevelund is a good one in ueurly every particular, und if tbe workingmen’s o7- ganizations and tbe manufacturers’ associations ugree upon the putting into practice such a plan it can be done without a jar or friction.” Under present conditions it the eight-hour lan was inuugurated the only result would Be'thut. more. muchines would be erected ‘nd mere clilidren put feeding them. ‘The ad- Vocute of short hours does not desire to curtail production. ‘They wish to make production rudual, healthy, and have it keep pace with {fhe wants of tne consumer, keeflog all men em- ployed, so that idleness will disappear and the producer a consumer to his fullost Gapucity, © * * The machine must become the slave of the man, instead of keeping the man in attendance on and subordinule to the miachbine.

RELATIONS WITH TRADES UNIONS. “The trouble of the Knights with trades unions had been greatly magnified. Mistakes were made on both sides, especially by organizers in each camp having disregarded the rights of thelr neighbors. “Over ity disputes growing Out of these cases had been easily settled since the Cleveland convention, “To dig up past troubles is unnecessary, and, in consultation with prominent men of the’ trades uatons, I was gratified to learn that they had no desire to revive the past, For the future I recom- mend that all matters likely to create a breach of the between our order aud any other beat once submitted to the executive of both organizations. * * * More trouble has been caused us by men who profess to be members of the Knights of Labor than by members of trades unions, I respect the man who, being a member of a trades union, does everything honorable in Lis power to defend and per- tuate his organization; but tor the Knight ot bor who would even atlempt to subordinate our order to any other I have nothing but con- tempt, In my estimation, were is but one Place for such @ man, and that Is on the outside of our ordar.” ATTACKS ON MR, POWDERLY. Mr. Powderly’s address continues: “The duties which called me away from home for the greater part of the year that has closed made it impossible to give proper attention to my cor- respondence. ‘To read each letter addressed to me would occupy every moment of the 24 hours, leaving no time to answer or dictate an answer toany of them. I attended to all that Tcould, and the others will never be reached. If this js neglect of,duty, then I'am guilty; but I have no apology to offer. I did all that I could do—more could not be expected of me. “I have never, during the seven years that T have served as general muster workman, made 4 member of this order a subject of personat or pubile criticism or abuse. Such treatment has not been accorded to me. Whether the luten- Hon was to have me reply through the public press I do not know, but I have made it a rule never to speak in criticism, larsh or otherwise, ofa man except when standing face 10 fuce with bim, And I have as studiously retrained from replying to or denying attacks or accusa- Uons agaist me except in the presence of those Who made them. | Waeu called upon to detend the order or its principles I have attempted to 10 80. “I have beet accused of displaying a ‘lack of nerve,’ of ‘want of backbone,’ aud o1 being too ‘weak a man to lead a strong movement.’ I have never replied to these charges, nor will I do so now. I simply point back toa record ot seven yeuts of service and ask this question: Ui, while holding a position such ax no unan tiv: ing or dead ever held belore, with the tull blaze of pubile serutiny shining upon my every ac- tion, with public opiuton as ready to condemn as t6 applaud, I have displayed a lack of nerve or backbone, why is It that a miliion men and women of nerve, backbone and common sense have gathered around the standard which was placed In my bands seven years ago by une Jounder of wie order biinself? If 1 have been proven a weak mun, Wiy do so many strong n support me? 1'disiike to speak of thes: matters, but I believe that, in justice to your- selves abd me, you should know of them, By men who are not Knights of Labor I have been called weak because 1 discounten. need violence and hasty, ill-advised action. I have no excuse to offer, tor if this is au offense let the general assembly luwelf ofter the apology. My views upon such questions were known to each geu- eral assembly before my election as general muster Workinan, and in electing me Uiey in- dorsed and madé themselves responsible for these sentiments.

There had not even been di terenees between tue otuer members of the board and binseif, “That we nave constituted ourselves a ring to mauage affairs is Lrue; bat is What you elected us tor, We are a ring, sulid and unbroken, aud I hope the next board will be thesame.
